Eric had a busy day today! He had a good time with PT/OT this AM, as you can see from the photo below. In addition to playing ball, Eric stood a couple times for several seconds, and he even took a few steps. We had a few visitors. And the speech therapist came today for a speaking valve trial. He barely was able to whisper, but the therapist said he did great! That his vocal cords are working well. And it will get better each day. Eric is improving daily, but lack of sleep, shortness of breath, and coughing, and lack of appetite are still big issues. Thanks so much for your continued prayers and concerns.

I got so many positive comments on the nature photos yesterday, I included a few more today.
